The discussions assume significance in the wake of the State government cancelling the earlier single, financial bid and calling for a fresh detailed project report.

The new DPR will be prepared for a stretch of nearly 140 km from Anakapalle to Bhogapruam and two more corridors. Earlier, it was proposed for 42.55 km- from the Steel Plant to Kommadi.

AMRC Managing Director N.P. Ramakrishna Reddy and Deputy Chief General Manager G. Panduranga Rao made a presentation. Various rail systems were discussed, according to an official statement. AMRC will take up the task of appointing a new consultant for the fresh DPR.
